I would love to do this to my house, rather than endure the dull and life-sapping maintenance required to keep it 'valuable'.

tracey emin again

"It strikes me that the artist seems able to find worth and inspiration in the same emotional residue that she’s been dealing in for so much of her career. Emin has basically been on the same tip since she was in her twenties. It’s as if her perspective has not changed a bit in thirty years. Though it is satisfying to recognize parts of my own depressed attitudes in her work, Emin also terrifies me, because her sincerity reveals that it doesn’t suddenly get better when you’re middle-aged and famous."

david douard

"The teenager, after all, is the embodiment of the double-bind: living in a house that is not his, with a body that doesn’t suit him and no identity to speak of outside of consumption, he is nevertheless filled with desires that are entirely his own."

"David Douard activates mechanisms of visual and formal hybridization: his sculptures and objects always present a dual identity, suspended between anthropomorphism and virtuality."

thinking about things

Visited the MFA interim show opening at The Glasgow School of Art this evening. I've seen these shows for a good few years now but there was really some electricity in the air tonight. It made me think about my own work more....and then, when I got home, I started to watch music videos. There must be a link somewhere and I'm sure it will come to me sometime...Anyway this lo-fi diy video caught my attention because I love this version of the song and the video encapsulates some themes that I'm interested in.
